I taught a class this week which was all about making backgrounds. One of the simplest was using magazine pages lightly coated with gesso as a collage element. Gesso takes inks differently to paper, so it can be interesting to mix and match them as I did in this tag. I’ve inked up the tag [...]

Up close with the bunnehs
Posted in Daily Life, Family, tagged bunnehs, Derrick, my craft studio, Ranger on Thursday, July 8 2010 | 29 Comments »
Well up close with one particular bunneh actually. This one came right up under my craft room window the other day. I managed to get some shots through the glass, but when I tried to open the window quietly, he took fright and scampered off. I saw a basement bunneh this morning, hopping and bouncing [...]
Essence of Nature again

Yes, another sneak peek – this paper is quite a subtle one, but very useable. The tree is a laser cut Scrap FX one which has been misted with a Distress/Perfect Pearls mix (old paper and gold I think). The panel behind the trees is stamped with Tall Trees and the sentiment is a 7 [...]
So you like the idea of classes, huh?
Posted in Artylicious CDs, Craft Stuff, tagged Derrick, Distress, Ranger on Thursday, May 6 2010 | 20 Comments »
Well, that was an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the idea of online classes. I think I have a new project on my to do list. I found a photo of a little accordian pocket book I made with Eastern Grasses and I can’t remember if I ever posted it here? Well, if this is a [...]

The full list of workshops is now up on the Graphicus website (click here to see [...]

OK, I finally got round to taking a photograph of the project we made on the Ranger workshop last weekend. We spent the first hour with Suze Weinberg playing with the melt pot, then an hour with Claudine Hellmuth playing with her paints, sticky back canvas, gesso and mediums, and finally the last hour with [...]
Getting Sidetracked
Posted in Art, Cat Stuff, Daily Life, Family, tagged Basil, German Scrap, Golden, Ranger on Monday, January 11 2010 | 11 Comments »
Derrick seems to be a lot better than he was on Saturday. Adrian came back on Saturday from visiting in a state as close to despair as I think I’ve ever seen him. Derrick had been fed through his nose tube, but had reacted and been sick which had thrown the tube out. Worse than [...]
And another soppy one
Posted in cards, tagged Distress, Ranger, romance on Tuesday, December 15 2009 | 7 Comments »
I don’t know if I’ll get round to making a Christmas card for Adrian this year, but in previous years I have often incorporated hearts into my cards for him. Last year I made a red button heart. This year, I think he might get something similar to this one. 2010 will be our 14th [...]
